Journal Article
Severe summertime flooding in Europe
2003
Overview
Scientists utilized a high-resolution climate model as part of a study seeking to quantify the impacts of greenhouse gas forced global warming on heavy or extended precipitation episodes that may cause catastrophic flooding events. Findings from the effort indicated increases in the amount of precipitation that exceeds the 95th percentile are very likely in large sections of Europe. These trends are expected in spite of the fact that average summertime precipitation may be reduced over many areas of Europe. The two emission scenarios considered using the HIRHAM4 regional climate model, which was developed by the Danish Meteorological Institute, are detailed. Model results suggested increased frequency of severe flooding events occurring as counterpoint to general trends toward drier summer conditions.
